Politics made easy: Photobooth picture supports EPA standards

We dig around on Flickr every day to see what's going on in Minnesota. When we came across photo collection of random people holding car keys, we decided to figure out what these odd balls were up to.

Apparently the photos are part of a nationwide Sierra Club campaign to get the Environmental Protection Agency to allow California to implement clean car standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Supporters who can't make it to the March 5 hearing at the Capitol can just submit a photo of themselves holding car keys and they'll bring you along to the meeting. Talk about making political activity for the lazy, right?

If you want to participate, visit the Sierra Club site for more details.
